书籍介绍
You don’t need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself. That’s the message from Austin Kleon, a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere, creativity is for everyone. A manifesto for the digital age, Steal Like an Artist is a guide whose positive message, graphic look and illustrations, exercises, and examples will put readers directly in touch with their artistic side.
When Mr. Kleon was asked to address college students in upstate New York, he shaped his speech around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out. The talk went viral, and its author dug deeper into his own ideas to create Steal Like an Artist, the book. The result is inspiring, hip, original, practical, and entertaining. And filled with new truths about creativity: Nothing is original, so embrace influence, col- lect ideas, and remix and re-imagine to discover your own path. Follow your interests wherever they take you. Stay smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring—the creative you will need to make room to be wild and daring in your imagination.

精彩摘录
- "Fake it 'til you make it I love this phase. There are two ways to read it: 1 Pretend to be something you're not until you are -- fake it until you're successful, until everybody sees you the way you want them to; or 2 Pretend to be making something until you actually make something. I love both thin"
- "Marcel Duchamp said, "I don't believe in art. I believe in artists." This is actually a pretty good method for studying -- if you try to devour the history of your discipline all at once, you'll choke. Instead, chew on one thinker -- writer, artist, activist, role model -- you really love. Study eve"
- "你应该一次只研究一位你真正喜爱的思想家一一作家、艺术家、积极分子、榜样——研究关于他的一切，然后找到他推崇的三个人，再找出关于这三个人的一切。尽可能多次重复这个过程，在这条路上走得越远越好。亲手种下这棵树后，便可以让它开枝散叶了。"
- "All advice is autobiographical. When people give you advice, they are really just talking to themselves in the past. Stop worrying about what's"good" and what's "bad", there's only stuff worth stealing, and stuff that's not worth stealing. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is com"
- "If you are out of ideas, wash the dishes. Take a really long walk. Stare at a spot on the wall for as long as you can. "Avoiding work is the way to focus my mind. --Maira Kalman" If you have 2 or 3 real passions, don't feel like you have to pic and choose between them. Don't discard. Keep all your p"
- "不要为不工作寻找任何借口——利用各种你有的时间、空间和材料来创作，马上就行动。"
- "拥有一个爱好是我们的幸运。爱好是专门为自己而设的创意。你不是为了利用它获取名利，而只是为了享受其中的快乐。爱好从来都只会给予，不会索取。我的艺术作品可供全世界欣赏，但我的音乐只是为了让自己和朋友聆听。每个周日我们都会聚在一起，制造几个小时的噪声。没有压力，也没有计划，仿佛重获新生，如同去教堂礼拜一样。 保持最完整的自己。不要担心作品缺乏宏伟计划或统一视野，不用烦心如何将碎片组成整体——正是你的亲力亲为，才将所有工作串联成整体。总有一天，回首往昔，你会发现一切都水到渠成。"
- "第一步：产生好奇心。第二步：邀请别人与你一起探索……当你敞开大门邀请别人参与进来，你会受益良多……很多网站和博客的发帖排序为时间倒序——浏览者看到的第一个帖子就是最新的帖子，所以你最后一次发布的作品就代表了你的实际水平。这激励着你保持谨慎，让你不停思考接下来要发布什么作品。这就像面对着一个空盒子时，我们会想要将其填满。这些年来，每当我感到迷茫的时候，我就会看看自己的网站，问自己“我可以装些什么进去呢？”"

用户评论
随时做log的确是我开始做视频之后最大的变化，此外感觉生活中处处是素材和值得学习的地方，自己要提升的地方还是太多了
"Everything that needs to be said has already been said." "Fake it 'til you make it."
平白易懂
小道理的书。但是把每个小道理都说得很有感觉很有说服力。
刚拿到书的时候心里在流血：坑钱....但是一口气读完后兴奋到各种读书欲望都激起了，神作
特别简单的小书，很快就读完了，看完这书，觉得谁都能出书hhh就看能不能行动了，精华就是前面一点，让你消除对创新的害怕之情，里面的图挺有意思
“When I get busy, I get stupid.”
最近在思考creativity, 看完这本有趣的小书还挺有启发的。
尤其希望自己践行的：
Make a world.
Write what you like, not what you know.
Read a lot.
Keep jotting down inspirations.
Do good work and share it with people.
P.S. 这本书看比听有意思。
我有很多的类似的体验，看到好的东西拍下来，积累起来，在某一天遇到类似或者有关系的事情时再二次创作。一直以来，我以为这是不入流的技巧。读完这本书后，了解到原来艺术家都是这么样获取灵感以及创作的。
本书短小，风趣，旁征博引，10个技巧其实是十种生活方式。一切都变得有趣，时常因为小的灵感而激动，做点不入流的小玩意慢慢的能串起来变成生命中的项链。
非常值得去读的书！比另外一本《show your work》更精彩
挺好的，关键的作用是产生“啊原来大家都经历过这些啊！”的安慰感
